He'll just leave with me. If I do not have offers, it will not leave, stay here. I would be happy for Stefan to leave as I would enjoy for every player who would leave the University of Craiova for a transfer amount. It would mean that we also have a merit. If someone pays, it means that the player has done his job and is appreciated. We will be happy for him because he goes to better.
